PERMIT 79-177, MID-TERM REVIEW <br />MAY 13, 1985 <br />PAGE SIX <br />RESPONSE: <br />CYCC agrees in concept with the proposed bonding calculations con- <br />tained in Attachment A relating to the CYCC Mine Bond of $9,884,100 <br />and the amount posted in the Foidel Creek permit relating to the Pit <br />2 reclamation of $905,190.00. However, upon reviewing the bonding <br />calculations, CYCC has discovered an error used in calculating the <br />original bond. Specifically, the $611.00 per acre revegeatation <br />cost presented on page 79 applies only to the post-mining land use <br />areas involving rangeland which have a woody plant density standard. <br />Considerable acreage at CYCC exists for pastureland and cropland <br />areas which do not have a woody plant density requirement. CYCC is <br />in the process of revising this figure and will submit a revised <br />bond figure by June 3, 1985. <br />CYCC is of the opinion that the CMLRD is in the process of reevalu- <br />ating the concept of a maintenance bond for areas reseeded, but not <br />yet released from bond. Specifically, in discussion with Sandy <br />Brown and Fred Banta between Mike McCarthy and Kent Crofts in the <br />Coal Operators meeting on May 2, we were instructed that the CMLRD <br />was reviewing this concept and until a final decision was reached, <br />it would not be necessary to post a maintenance bond as instructed <br />in your February 26, 1985 letter. <br />If there are any additional questions or concerns, please contact me. <br />Sincerely, <br />Richard Hughes <br />Environmental Specialist <br />RH/kmk <br />cc: M.
